When three brothers walked into an Alvin Walmart Sunday, they planned on drinking three cases of beer for free.
But another shopper that despises crime could not stop herself when she saw them walking out without paying.
"I told the cashier, 'Do something, they are leaving,' and she couldn't do anything, so I just told her, 'Watch my purse,'" good Samaritan Monique Lawless said.
As the three Thompson brothers walked to their Camaro, parked in a fire lane, Monique Lawless gave chase leaving her spot in the checkout line.
Since the brothers had a hard time opening the locked Camaro, it gave Lawless plenty of time to catch up. With adrenaline at full throttle, she jumped on the hood and stomped on the windshield.When three brothers walked into an Alvin Walmart Sunday, they planned on drinking three cases of beer for free.

#1 - Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:57 PM EDTWhat surprises me is the apathetic attitude of everyone standing by, watching this all go down. These guys were pretty ballsy, stealing, when WM has cameras covering every square centimeter in their stores. What's not surprising? The fact that WM "Security" didn't appear to do much at all. I was in a WM parking lot one night when a couple got into a fight. She ended up being carried through the parking lot on the hood of their truck, while "security" sat in his little golfcart, watching, too scared to go check it out.
To the woman involved, KUDOS! You had the balls to stand up for what was right. If more people would get involved, things like this would decline in occurence.

It is good that people do something, as long as guys really are doing something wrong before it.
Thanks for the seed, voted up.
